knock knock...
had an ultra filling dunch today... was like lunch at bout 3pm so as good as a dinner too... went to this river valley nasi padang place at zion road with SC n boss... we ordered like almost 10 dishes? or was it 10 or more... man... can't rem another time when we had so many malay dishes at a single seating... not even at a malay wedding!!!!!
there was achar, sambal ayam, telur goreng which was really interesting coz it was omelette with plenty of onions n chinese celery and it was deep fried a second time since it had an additional crust (yummy... *drool*), lady fingers, sambal goreng, sayur lodeh, ikan bilis, sambal sotong which din look appetising but tasted good... wasn't rubbery like most squids... instead it was succulent n easy to bite, begerdel... the sambal belacan was fantastic too but my fave is still the one at ermm... i can't rem which indo rest... the one at suntec... absolutely love dat!
lunch was great but better still, had plenty of laughs to complement the meal as we digged at one another n others... wahahahah... the most spastic thing was dat we were supposed to try the rival stall but there was ZERO customer at the other outlet while the one dat we eventually went to was rather crowded at like 3pm, so we turned back n headed to the former stall again... which is so very spastic coz SC n boss actually tried dat stall previously n the intention was to try the rival stall today!!!!!! wahahaha, speaking of crowd pressure.
moving on from da food section... let's get more serious... hahahaha, rare for mindy
dun think any1 would understand y i love my job so much... well, being off work at like 230pm on a wkday n sharing a meal with ur superiors with so much fun is one draw factor... another would b dat they totally appreciate ur hard work n while some ppl still dun c no bonus... i'm already assured of a good one though i think i've already been more den fairly rewarded daily at work... n the thot of being there for the pats when they need u... when u've them singing raves even though u've really done nothing... when i can share in their joy when they can finally complete their families... n the deeper knowledge dat God can open barren wombs, through the use of technology. i truly believe He empowered the human mind to conceive of ways to solve infertility prbs... hence when a new life is created, it's not bout the success of science but that through His grace, He's allowed life to perpetuate. Ultimately, He is still the one who gives life...
n back to y i love my job... i love it dat i can heave a sigh of relief together with the pats when they see fetal heartbeats for the very first time... when i can call them n reassure them dat their blood test results r fine... n dat they hv no cause for worry... i love it when they bring their bundles of joy back to show off the labour of 40 weeks n many painful hours...
of course there r painful moments when life ends prematurely... when after much time, effort n money are spent n the desired results r not obtained still... but it is through these moments of loss n disappointments dat make the victorious moments all the more valuable. n the courage of pats to continue to live bravely n try again... these r the cherishable qualities dat God has given to us...
of course there r trying moments too... when i hv to try so hard not to kill some unreasonable or long-winded or high n mighty pats.... den again, w/o these ppl, hey! no kick lah... den i've nothing interesting to write bout la!
anyway, i jux wanna say i love my job... n i dun care wat u say bout it. u can jolly well call me a clinic asst or say there's zero prospect... it really doesn't matter. i dun need anything dat rust n moths can destroy n dat thieves can steal. i jux need a reason to smile every single day.
